Summary Introduction

The more amount of gasoline that is required in gallons per year for a sport utility vehicle or pickup truck rated at 12 miles per gallon use as compared to a minicompact car rated at 52 mpg when they are driven 12,000 miles per year. Also determine the cost involved in buying a gallon of gasoline at $4 per gallon and $8 per gallon for a low-mileage car for five years.

Introduction:

Gasoline is a non-renewable source of energy that is obtained from petroleum. Petroleum is a major fossil fuel that is extracted from the underground reserves. An increase in the Earth’s population has lead to the extensive use of natural resources, due to which the petroleum reserves are at a critical stage of depletion.
